.....was in his mid 30's, had a host of medical problems including stroke, alcoholism, diabetes and, since he was with his mummy, I am assuming he also had an impressive list of social deficiencies. It was 10:45 PM.

He needed a note because he missed his court-ordered community service.The reason?

Thanks For Stopping By!

I completed my BSN 34 years after finishing my diploma program; now I don't know quite what to do with the rest of my life. In the meantime, I continue to be one of the world's oldest nurses still working at the bedside when most of my peers have moved on to management, teaching, and bartending.

I'm going on year 42 as a nurse, and the antics of the sick and the stupid continue to amuse and entertain; some days I simply shake my head. I just can't believe all the crap that goes on in emergency rooms every single day. There are a lot of good people out there putting up with it!

Any resemblence to any persons living or dead is purely coincidental. The names and maladies have been changed to protect the innocent, if there are any.

Yikes! Hell NO I Don't Make This Shit Up! (Or do I?)

While the aforementioned names, places, maladies and scenarios may have occurred, the descriptions may or may not be in real time, may in fact have occurred years ago or last week. Some of the individuals may be a composite of several people who have drifted into and out of my life. Or I may have made the whole thing up. The bottom line: it ain't you or your granny, so stop thinking that it is. I abide by HIPAA, sheesh.
